New Studio Romp Video

For those of you that have been around since the Illustrating Stories days, you will remember the videos that Liz and I did while we experimented in the studio. After about an eighteen month break (two moves in there) from those videos we are finally creating together again.

This video is from a few weeks ago and shares a mixed-media project from both of us. Enjoy!

A look at the finished pieces from the orange and green series. This art is very hard to photograph in its display location. We have this fun metal structure that stands about eight feet tall and opens like a greeting card. We have art displayed on both sides and due to the location of the window it can be hard to get a good photograph. At night the art is highlighted with spot lights and takes on a nice glow.

HiiiiiiiiiiiiiHaaaaaaaaaaaa you're both back !!!! You're too funny !! laughing and making crazy girls as always ahahahahhaha
Thanks for the SUPER tip to preserve painting ! the box with wet paper tissue and the little trays !! yooohhooo too great !
Can I ask you, did you glued crcle paper to have these pale sun on your green and orange canvas ???? If I well understood you used some bio and eco-friendly matte medium to create circle but I didn't understood if you glued some round papers ?? and then you added paint ?? will you explain how you create these canvas ?
thanks for sharing all these !

The canvases are made up of a series of layers using acrylic paint, watercolor crayons, charcoal, and oil pastels. After the first texture layters, I cut out circles from cream colored graph paper in several sizes. I then used a eco-friendly matte medium to glue the circles onto the surface.
